No Mas

American filmmaker Woody Allen will be shooting future Mediapro projects "neither in Catalonia, nor in Spain," the production company's president Jaume Roures explained yesterday.

Roures described a tense situation which unfolded during the recent filming of Vicky Cristina Barcelona in Barcelona. During shooting, the opposition Popular Party (PP) accused the city's Socialist mayor of "acting like there was nothing in the world but Woody Allen."....[Roures] stated that of Allen's two upcoming collaborations with Mediapro, both originally scheduled for Spain, one will be shot in San Francisco and the other outside Spain, due to "the pressure put on us this year, which was miserable."
